I am on book 4 at the moment and just loving them - I really don't want them to end. Has anyone read them and enjoyed them? If so, what did you read next?

Finished re-read of Phury's book this week. It was much better second time around.

There was a lot of Rehv in it, that first time round I didn't really care about but having read his book it made more sense. Also more lesser/Lash/Adirondack-Tohr stuff that TBH is not really what we want to read about, but it does add to the story.

Phury really is a male of worth.

Hope all is okay with you now sandy. I'll make sure V and Butch come in and check on you over the weekend.

SandylovesZsadist · 26/03/2010 18:29

Tin ordered Pleasure Unbound today - what do you think of it so far?

Dream yeh thinks okay thanks - I'll be looking forward to V&Butch checking in on me

NeonCupcakes · 26/03/2010 21:37

Rhage?

Rhage? (did I post this one already?)

ATinofBiscuits · 27/03/2010 09:28

Neon, first pic is okay but he don't have the long hair I'm imagining

Sandy, my life has imploded at the moment and I haven't had time for anything, so might not get started with Pleasure Unbound until crisis abated

Will be out of contact for a bit.

NeonCupcakes · 27/03/2010 10:32

Tin - hope things are OK with you. Have some bacon & chocolate. Come on if/when you need some light relief!

dreamworldfullofUNICORNS · 27/03/2010 13:16

O Tin, I hope everything is okay/works out soon. Come see us when you can/need cheering up.

SandylovesZsadist · 27/03/2010 17:42

Tin, sorry to hear your having a hard time - we'll still be here when you are able to come back.

ATinofBiscuits · 28/03/2010 16:51

Thanks Neon, Dream and Sandy.

Let's just say my life at the moment has elements of Ehlena's her homelife (but withouth Rehv to provide sweet relief unfortunately)

I thought I would pop back to see what going on so don't let me kill this thread, keep it going BDBabes.

NeonCupcakes · 28/03/2010 23:15

Sandy, it's all about your man this week.

Classic Zsadist

Zsadist in Italian is ... Zsadist apparently

Seriously scary scar

SandylovesZsadist · 29/03/2010 12:12

Tin: Hope things improve for you - just read your books and get lost in Caldwell

Neon: Yep all about my man - can't check out your links at work

dreamworldfullofUNICORNS · 29/03/2010 15:33

ahem I rhink you will find he is our man.

Perfect Zsadist!

Spot On!

SandylovesZsadist · 29/03/2010 20:58

Dream: F**king Fantastic.

SandylovesZsadist · 29/03/2010 21:00

Neon: liked the links - I love Wentworth Miller as Zsadist

NeonCupcakes · 29/03/2010 22:06

Sorry, Dream - forgot you shared Z!

I've seen that 'Spot On' manip so many times with so many different heads - I wonder who it actually is???

NeonCupcakes · 29/03/2010 22:08

How's this one? Not bad, a bit too pretty, me-thinks, and the slave bands are all wrong.

NeonCupcakes · 29/03/2010 22:10

Not a photo but phwoar & steamy. I love this picture.

NeonCupcakes · 29/03/2010 22:18

Hmm (I don't think he's good looking enough, though probably tough enough)

NeonCupcakes · 29/03/2010 22:22

An oft-cited contender?

(Struggling to beat Wentworth or Channing).

dreamworldfullofUNICORNS · 30/03/2010 13:35

I do like Vin Diesel, but hes not Zsadist, It just has to be Wentworth or Channing im afraid....

Whilst looking for Z I found this, its quite old now but posting it anyway:

No SPOILERS as long as you have read book 3!

Nalla and Zsadist
JR WARD:

I absolutely agree. Especially as she IDOLIZES her father. Totally and completely. She is such his little girl and will ALWAYS be like that. And I have to say taht the thing that breaks my heart into little pieces is that...

well, sh** I didn't plan on getting into this this morning but whatever...

Nalla finds out eventually that he had been held as a blood slave. And what had been done to him. I think I know how it happens but I'm not completely sure. Anyway... she never tells him she knows. Ever. He goes to his grave thinking that she wasn't aware of the shameful things that were done to him (HIS perspective here, NOT hers- she thinks what happened was horrorific and criminal).

After she finds out (she's about thirty when it happens,) she disappears for a whole weekend to that house Bella ended up at right after Rehv's mansion was broken into. Her parents are frantic because she doesn't tell them where she is- but the thing is, she can't be around Z or see him because she's afraid she'll break down. After a day, she calls her mom and Bella comes alone at her request and Nalla just cries and cries and cries. See, she'd always known something was up with her father, she just didn't know what it was and the truth was so much worse than she imagined. I can't even BEGIN to know how she handled the news. I mean... check it... here's this male who she loves more than anyone (yeah, probably even more than Bella although it's a matter of degree,) who's protected her and her mother, and served the race with honor and distinction, who's laughed with her and held her when she was scared of thunderstorms and fed her when she was sick and glowered at her boyfriends and brought her spring violets for no reason and bought her her first car and sung to her when she woke up from nightmares... to find out this wonderful special incredible soul who is her father had been used for blood and violated for a century?

Yeah, just about killed her.

Anyway, Bella called Z and reassured him that Nalla was fine but that the two of them were going to have a girl's weekend kind of thing. When the two got back tot he mansion, Nalla went to find Z- turned out he was reading in the library. Naturally, his face totally lit up the second he saw her. But here's the thing. As Z held his arms wide, Nalla had a sudden and irrevokable conviction strike her heart: she vowed he would never know she knew. EVER. She's well aquainted with his pride, but more than that it would crush him because he'd be sure to guess how upset she was.

When she hesitated in the doorway, Z asked her what was wrong.

Nalla just shook her head and flew across the library. As she landed in his arms, she held onto him so tightly he could barely breathe. And when he asked her what was wrong?

She just shook her head against that big chest of his and said:

"Nothing, Daddy. I just missed you."

dreamworldfullofUNICORNS · 30/03/2010 13:38

Im not sure I can beat Wentworth, but how about this

SandylovesZsadist · 30/03/2010 20:06

Dream: loved the posting about Nalla - where was this from?

SandylovesZsadist · 30/03/2010 20:18

JRWard is putting little snippets of Lover Mine on her forum through April, here is what is there so far:

3/29: Dear God, John thought. Please let me not fail in this.

3/29: Dearest Virgin Scribe, please let me not fail in this.

3/30: She had him right in her arms, and for a brief moment of whimsy, she imagined that she was never, ever going to let him go.

I'm really pissed off - got an e-mail from Amazon to say the book won't be delivered until 12th May!!!

dreamworldfullofUNICORNS · 30/03/2010 20:20

I found it on a message board, but was originally posted by JR WARD on her forum, at least a year ago now.

dreamworldfullofUNICORNS · 30/03/2010 20:29

My delivery est also 12th May. I wonder if I can get it sooner from someone else....
